The event was initially scheduled to be held on June 23, but postponed due to the Athens Union of Journalists (ESIEA) strike. 

The main purpose of the event organized by Prolepsis Institute under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Health and Social Solidarity, is to inform employers, employees and unions, and call for their consensus on the implementation of the antismoking law. It is part of the National Action Plan against smoking, focusing on the right all workers have to a healthy, smoke-free environment. 

The event is open to the public, and free of charge.
